great coverage but oxidizes...
This powder looks amazing initially on my skin, but by the end of the day, oxidizes to an odd orange hue. However, my skin is very oily.
Still has one of the best colour ranges of any powder available IMO

Pretty Good
If you're looking for a fixing powder with good coverage that doesn't cost a fortune, this is it.
Yes, there are better (more expensive) options but this one is pretty good for the price.
Coverage can be quite thick and colour match is quite difficult because of the undertones but it really isn't terrible.
I found touch-ups quite difficult throughout the day as it doesn't blend well if your skin is at all oily, but initial application isn't bad at all.

Holy grail powder
Mac Studio Fix powder will always be my number one favourite powder foundation. I use a dense flat top brush to pat it over liquid foundation for extra coverage and it never looks cakey. Nothing beats it!Used this for years!
I have used this for years and years and I will never switch as I have never found another product that matches the staying power and coverage like this gem does.Best all day sweat proof powder - full coverage
I have used this for years either just on its own or over foundation - it lasts all day even in a hot climate. Sometimes I just brush over my face and it covers redness and blemishes so well. It really is the best all day wear you can get, from all day at work, to the gym or going out, it won't disappoint.Love
Smooth and silky application and great colour.Fantastic
I love this powder so much. It’s so great for over the top of my face and body foundation. I really like it and think it’s beautiful.Amazing all day coverage.
I love this powder foundation! It is quite lightweight but the more you apply the more coverage you get. It blends perfectly and makes my skin look flawless. I also love how matte it makes my skin look. I apply it over my liquid foundation when I would like a little more coverage. It lasts all day!All time favourite
All time favorite for light coverage. I dont wear much make up but this just sits on my skin and covers what I need to.Perfect lightweight, everyday coverage
I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to makeup - 5 minute morning routine at the best of times. I don't like feeling caked on with makeup and have always gone for powders for this reason. Studio fix ticks all the boxes for me!Love this
My go to! i use it alone for a lighter coverage or over foundation for extra coverage. its easier to use and i love that you can build it up depending on the coverage you want.LOVE THIS! the holy grail of coverage powder
This powder can literally make any foundation look full coverage !
This powder lasts forever and looks so beautiful on the skin!
Has a great colour range which have many different under tones and suits most skin types!Full coverage!
I purchased this for those day’s where I can’t be bothered with a full face of makeup but want to quickly cover my pigmentation and post acne marks. This completely covers my skin issues when used alone and can be used with the studio fix liquid for super coverage. Doesn’t break me out or look cakey and ageing. Brilliant!Best Pressed Powder!
This is my go to pressed powder! It provides extra coverage, it doesn't look cakey, very natural finish. I have tried so many powders and I always keep coming back to this one! I love that the price tag is affordable (compared to competitors) and is so easy to use!Great for on the go
I am obsessed with this product for days when i am running late and just need to clean up my appearance. I can apply this on my face in barely a minute and it does not look cakey and gives me enough coverage to even out my skin tone and gives my skin colour. I also use this to set liquid foundation on days I'm going for a full coverage look and it is so versatile in is application and i love it. Highly Recommend.Long lasting powder and good value
This powder has good coverage and lasts, I keep it in my purse for touch ups on the go over top of liquid foundation. Also love that it has 15 grams of product, more than most other brands.Great setting powder
This powder is great to use to set your foundation or for some extra coverage and reduces shineNice colour
Goes on easy and nice colourFantastic!
Great powder, always has been always will! I use this over my base more so to set it or add a bit extra coverage if I've just used a BB or CC cream, but it definitely is a fuller coverage powder if you want to use it that way. Would 100% recommend, very long lasting and amazing shade range too.My holy grail powder
Every time I have ever tried a new powder, I have ended up chucking it and going back to the Studio Fix Plus. Even when used over a more affordable drug store liquid foundation, I find it sticks well, hides my discolouration and fine lines and creates a great texture for my skin.For all the moments
I use my powder with or without foundation! For lighter skin in everyday use only use it. It has great coverage! Or use after base to mattify.Very good!
I use this as a setting powder over foundation and it looks great and lasts foreverbest thing ever
such good packaging, they give you free little samples too. I have always been using this powder. it's great to buy it online as it takes few days to arrive it's very quick and convenientNatures best friend!
I use this product daily of my studio fix foundation works really well and hold my makeup all day. It is also great for lighter coverage on its own and can easily build up for more coverageBest powder!
Have been using this for years !
Great coverage on its own or over foundation!Best Powder
I have used this powder for years, it is affordable and lasts months. The finish a smooth and does not look caked on. The colour matches my skin perfectly.Silky
Makes my skin look really silky and even! Would definitely recommend as it doesn't clump in certain areas or sink into my skin. It is also slightly matifying which is perfect for long days and it blurs imperfectionsAirbrushed finish
Love love love this! I use it lightly on top of foundation and it gives the perfect airbrushed finish. It’s not cakey at all and with so many options for colour, you are bound to find one that is perfect for you! Would definitely recommend!Amazing
I've been going back to this powder for years now, never fails to set my makeup in place and give an amazing finish and feel to my dry-combo skin! Although I would recommend maybe going a shade lighter than usual as I think it oxidizes the tiniest bit throughout the day, nothing too hectic xeasy to apply
Very easy to apply and great because you can get a full coverage in a powder! always keep it in my purse for emergenciesgreat coverage but oxidizes...
This powder looks amazing initially on my skin, but by the end of the day, oxidizes to an odd orange hue. However, my skin is very oily.
Still has one of the best colour ranges of any powder available IMOBest powder ever
I love this powder. I love the texture and the finish is absolutely perfect no need to retouch.Great mineral fix
Love this foundation when I just need a light coverage. Great for after microdermabrasion sessions when you are only allowed mineral makeup. Colour match is spot onfabulous
A favourite in our house, forever looking for it as it goes missing in my 13 year olds bedroom. We both love it, Very matte finish, looks great all day.Works as a setting powder
It actually works well as a setting power. Some of my foundation's coverage is on the lighter side so when I use these foundations, I layer this on top to give some extra coverage.On the fence about this one...
I purchased this a while ago from a Mac store. I also purchased studio fix fluid which I like but when I apply this powder over the top I find it just looks too heavy. Even by just lightly dusting it over my face to set my makeup. And I find it clings to my dry patches even when I use a primer etc. I do have to say tho it gives AMAZING coverage and would be so perfect for someone with quite oily skin.One of the best!
Helps with oily skin and gives great coverage for acne skinGreat coverage
I saw this powder used on some beauty blogs. I love a good coverage powder and this certainly delivers.Perfect for oily skin
This is perfect for my oily skin. I apply once or twice a day and it mattes out my skin without making it cakey!Goodbye oil
Godsend to my oily face. I have been using this for about 6+ years now and I keep on going back to this after trying other products. The product itself lasts and I really don't have anything bad to say about this product.All time favourite
I’ve been using this for over 10 years this with the Mac Fix Plus spray are like a match made in heaven!
Buildable coverage and perfect everyday compact to have in your bag. Definitely recommend for those with combination skinGreat compact foundation
This foundation is great and leaves the skin with a flawless finish. Easy to apply in this format and is great for travel and topping up easily as opposed to liquid. Worth it!Great coverage
Great coverage for powder foundation, over liquid foundation or even on its own!excellent
this foundation is amazing! It blends so easily and leaves a flawless look on my skin! The coverage is perfect and it is so lightweight! I definitely recommend!Go-to powder foundation
Great to set foundation but I also love to use it on 'no makeup' days. Excellent coverage for a powder and non-drying,Would repurchase
I use this every day as a setting foundation. It’s has a lovely buildable coverage but I find if I use it alone it clings to any dry areas.using as a setting foundation it lasts really well and helps to build that flawless face. I used to love the bare minerals compressed powder before they changed the formula and I think this works just as good.great for setting the face
this foundation is better used to set the face and add extra coverage than using it alone. lasts forever and prolongs makeup wearMy go to foundation
I have been using it from last 4 years..never had any issue with it..not too dry for my combination skin..too good for my asian skin..always get compliments for no make up lookGreat coverage
Very good coverage for my acne..non streaking n truly matches to my skin tone.lovely
i wanted this to provide extra coverage to cover my acne and it did just that, didnt make my makeup look cakey eitherGreat powder and extra coverage
Love my MAC products, and this one definitely doesnt dissapoint!High coverage
Great to touch up foundation during the day. Provides high coverage and sets foundation without drying it out. Lasts a long timeGreat coverage
Food coverage powder, i use this over foundation to add extra coverage plus it helps to keep my face matte all dayGood
I use this to touch up my foundation throughout the day. It absorbs all the excess oil on my face and gives me a smooth finishAwesome
good coverage doesn't unsettle the foundation or whatever is underneathLOVE IT
love it so much worth getting doesnt dry skin out too muchGreat coverage!
Works really well with the studio fix foundation! The colours match really well too. I can get quite an oily skin and this works perfectly to set my foundation and keep it looking great the whole dayLOVE IT
this is so good and goes over my liquid foundation perfectly and doesn't dry out my faceLove this product
I love this product, have been using it for a number of years, perfect coverOn the go
I use this for touch ups during the day and it works perfectly. Great coverage foundation.My number 1 powder foundation!
I'm 29 now and have been using this powder since I was 18. It is amazing on it's own, The coverage is buildable full coverage. I like using this on it's own when I CBF doing full glam or I use this to set my foundation/concealer and also to touch up my oilyness throughout the night thanks to it's matte finish. I can't speak highly enough of this,nice
good for no makeup makeup days, adds colour and coverage without making it feel like you're wearing too much makeupFull coverage powder
Have used this product for years and years and love it. I use this powder when I want a more matte finish. I use this over the top of my MAC studio fix fluid foundation when I want a full coverage look that will last all day/night. Have repurchased several times.Love it
Similar to the studio fix liquid foundation, it is amazing.
This product makes your skin super matte and also soft, it doesnt make your face cakey or anything like that.
It is definitely worth the money. It gives me such a nice and even finished look. However it does make your face a bit flat, finished with blush or highlighter should do the trick :)Great for setting liquid foundation
I use this powder after applying the Studio Fix Liquid Foundation and it works brilliantly to keep my foundation looking fresh all day! I've been using it for years, and keep going back for more each time I run out. I like my make up to be full coverage and don't like to reapply during the day/night so this is perfect!Full coverage
Love this powder for a night out as it is full coverage. Looks super matte. Texture is fine.Its alright
It's a nice powder keeps my makeup set and matte which is good because I have combination skin but does kind of cling to dry spots. Might need to moisturize well before. I got a shade a little too light, need to get foundations shade matchGo to powder
This has always been my favourite powder it’s so long lasting and just sets so well on my skin.Great coverage!
Great coverage for a powder foundation, expensive but goodGreat coverage!
This compact foundation has lasted me ages! great coverage!Pricey but good product
Good coverage for a powder foundation. Comes in a great range of shades to suit most skin tones. Packaging is study and comes with a good sized mirror. I didn't have any issues with this product however I don't know if I would repurchase due to the price point.Great powder!
Last for ages, increases the staying powder of your foundation and applies really nicely. I never felt it was too cakey and its great on its own or paired with a foundationBest powder foundation
i just bought a new one of this powder. It reminds me again how good it is and i cannot stop using it. it is so perfect for everyday use or even for glam use.Great powder keeps makeup on longer!
i use this everyday! keeps foundation into place!holy grail
I dont think I will ever get sick of this powder, love it! its worth the price as it lasts a long time and a little truly does go a long way, also kuddos to MAC for the colour selectionNot bad
This has a really good coverage to it, and is totally buildable as well! For me I find it can be drying on my skin on it's own, I definitely find it works better for me on top of a light liquid foundation. Would reccomend thoughLove this!!
I love this powder! I use it over the top of the studio fix fluid as I love a full coverage look and this product is great!! Have purchased over and over againNy new go-to powder!
I used to use Clinique Stay Matte powders but they never matched my skin tone. I decided to purchase this after reading reviews and WOW I have been missing out! I’ve never been able to use powder without applying liquid foundation first, but MAC has changed that! I used this powder without liquid foundation for about 12 hours and the only thing required was a touch up on my nose area after 5 hours. Have recommended this product to everyone since the first day I used it!Only Powder You Need
I have been using this powder both for on top of my foundation and just on its own for years. It gives you flawless, matte, long lasting, all day coverage - even after I work out at the gym, it stays put! It is perfect for holidays in the heat and warm climates (like QLD) as it is humidity proof.love it not cakey
use in combination with or without foundation. with foundations makes a super full coverage makeup look minus the cakieness, also helps my foundation stay put and not move or feel oily. use without foundation and it makes a nice not too full coverage easy reddness remover for the quick on the go or light makeup day lookThe holy grail of compacts
For years I used this as my only foundation, the coverage it gives is almost better than liquid. My skin doesn’t react to it and it really holds down the shine.Favourite powder
I say this is my favourite powder but it’s actually the only one I’ve ever liked. It’s not drying, gives awesome coverage without being cakey, and on me it looks so natural. It lasts forever too.Love it
I have been using this powder for years and have not been able to find a similar product. I use it ontop of my liquid foundation for a full coverage look or on its own for a light natural coverage. My acne scars are visible through it on its own.Excellent powder foundation
Have owned this powder foundation and using it for years. It is great for full coverage look. I either use it alone as a foundation or sparingly for setting my liquid foundation. Recommend to people looking for a matte look.Great for a natural makeup look!
Bought this and was surprised that the coverage is really good. I wear it on its own or to set a foundation for extra coverage. great for everyday use as it's not heavy and looks very natural. I'd say its more of like medium coverage coz my dark pigmentation still peeks through it. great for travelling and on the go moments as it is compact and comes with a mirror inside. what I do love about this too is that there's a separate compartment for the sponge that it comes with which is great if you don't like to remove the sponge and want to keep it for emergency sitch. overall satisfied with the product and highly recommend!Great for everyday makeup
This powder looks good on its own. I will use this if i need to do a quick makeup and it last all day. It does look a bit powdery at first but it melts into your skin as the day goes by. So i swear by this powder!Beautiful, Buildable + Blendable
Sets foundation gorgeously
Wears on it's own beautifully for a ligther during the day coverage.
Have given this to my sisters, friends, my partners daughter to borrow from time to time to show them how good it is because of how they always comment on how they like the look of my makeup & they loved it too.
Lasts for a very long time, yes it is on the more expensive side but it is a very generous sized compact & lasts me atleast a few months at a time so I find it good value for money.
LOVE IT!!Built to last
i have repurchased this powder way too many times, I love its consistency and the range of colours on offer. Last all day and gives a matte finish
Favourite
Have used this powder for years, love that i can apply it in so many ways - if I'm wanting light or fuller coverage. I use this with the MAC Setting Spray and it lasts all day and gives a nice matte finish.The best!
I love using this for when i need a bit of extra coverage when my skin is bad.. and for that it works so well! I've never tried it on the naked skin, only ever as a setting powder but i love it for thatGreat powder!
I only use this powder on top of my foundation on special days, as I don’t want to put too many things on my skin all the tome! Leaves skin flawless. Not a huge MAC fan, but I love this powder and their ruby woo lipstick!Gorgeous result
I prefer a matte look with my foundation but have found some powders make your skin look either dry, gray or too cakey.
This powder provides a flawless finish and makes your skin look lovely and radiant.
I find you can use this without a liquid base for a little bit of something on your face.Yes!
This is such a great product. It can be used over foundation or literally on it's one for the make up cases.. you don't need a lot of it either!Airbrush Look!
This is the best powder I have ever used. It is great to add an airbrush look on top of foundation but also sits really nicely on those 'no makeup' days as a bit of coverage. I have very oily skin and this has worked wonders.Second time purchase - won't ever change
This is my second time purchasing this powder foundation, and I absolutely love it. My first purchase lasted easily 3 years as I just use a tiny bit to set in my liquid foundation. I have very oily skin and have never had any issues with this foundation moving. It looks natural and does not make you look 'dry', you can still go for a dewy look.Great Setting Powder
This creates a great flawless finish. Recommended by my daughter and it's the best I've ever worn. Lasts all day. I am over 60 and it doesn't settle into fine lines like some. Love it!Using for 10 years
This is the best powder on the market! I have used for 10+ years and it never fails. The best for setting your foundation or wearing on it’s own. You can build it up or just use for a light coverage over your moisturiser or primer. Take it everywhere with me and just about to purchase a new one.Full coverage
I have been using this product for over 10 years now and will never change. Love the coverage and the way it works with the liquid foundation. They make a perfect pair. Lasts all day and never need to re-apply.Perfect powder foundation
Love this product! Firstly, the MAC shade range is perfection, I’m NC10 and there are many other brands that I just can’t use for base products as they are just too orange on my skin. Love this powder for days off when I just can’t bring myself to slather goo on my face but still want to look better than no makeup. Also use this on top of a spf50 bb cream for a great medium to full coverage but natural looking base with sun protection. Buffs into the skin beautifully and melts in with your natural oils to give a nice satin finish.Overall okay
I purchased this in addition with my MAC liquid foundation which was nice to have a colour match, although it was a bit too ‘cakey’ for me and seemed to settle in fine lines. I now keep this in my handbag for light touch ups on the go.
